UK User looking for Fitness Device!

Hi,

I have just (yesterday) started to use MFP again and have my first session at the gym tomorrow.

I would really like a device that monitors calories burned, my heart rate, and optionally sleep, not too bothered about this though. I want it to link to MFP. Are there any UK users out there who can give me some advice?

I have read about 'Fitbit' but I just keep seeming to read that it doesn't log all training...

    Trackers like the Fitbit and the Jawbone UP don't track heart rate and can't readily track exercise that doesn't involve arm movement (e.g. exercise bikes).

    If you've a suitable smartphone look at something like the Digifit iCardio and a Polar bluetooth heart rate monitor (e.g. Polar H7) - that'll sync your exercise to MFP. There's also a Polar wristband that will monitor steps etc but doesn't link to MFP.
